Problem 293 from Wernick's corpus: O, Mb, Tb


Problem

Given a point O, a point Mb and a point Tb, construct the triangle ABC.

Status

ArgoTriCS says that the problem is locus dependent.

Solution


  1. Using the point Mb and the point Tb, construct a line b (rule W02);

    % DET: points Mb and Tb are not the same

  2. Using the point Mb and the line b, construct a line mb (rule W10b);

  3. Choose freely a point O on the line mb (rule WOnline2)

  4. Choose freely a point A on the line b (rule WOnline1)

  5. Using the point A and the point Mb, construct a point C (rule W01);

  6. Using the point A and the point O, construct a circle k(O,C) (rule W06);

    % NDG: points A and O are not the same

  7. Using the circle k(O,C) and the line mb, construct a point Nb and a point Nbk (rule W04);

    % NDG: line mb and circle k(O,C) intersect

  8. Using the point Nb and the point Tb, construct a line sb (rule W02);

    % DET: points Nb and Tb are not the same

  9. Using the circle k(O,C), the line sb, the point O and the point Nb, construct a point B (rule W05);

    % NDG: line sb and circle k(O,C) intersect

    % DET: points Nb and B must be different
